Molten Copper | Copper Shimmer

Molten · Gleaming · Warm
Hand poured by El · Pure paraffin · Made in Australia

The first metal, worked by hand.

Copper was among the first metals people ever worked, hammered cold from the ground long before anyone learned to smelt it. Here it comes molten.

Lit, it pools in copper, rose and ember. The first drop is a sharp intake of breath, then the warmth glows outward like a forge cooling.

Pure paraffin runs over the skin in slow, liquid rivulets and sets with a warm metallic gleam. Once the lights come up, it peels away in sheets.

For the Wax Top who works slow and lets the heat speak.

How to Use:

Light the candle. Once the wax starts to melt around the base of the wick, tip parallel and test the first drops on your own forearm before the canvas. Avoid inverting the candle, hold parallel to the canvas and rotate in the hand to melt wax evenly. Height controls temperature. Higher is cooler, lower is hotter. Build from there, one deliberate drop at a time.

Metallic finishes run warmer than standard paraffin, the mica in the pigment holds extra heat. Watch the wick while it burns. If it stops burning down with the candle, put it out and trim the wick before relighting.

Safety:

Formulated for wax play. Keep away from eyes, face, broken skin and hair. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim the wick between sessions. Consent and communication before the first drop, always.

Paraffin retains heat longer than soy. Never let it pool on the skin, as pooled wax can run significantly hotter than the stated melting point and risks burns.
